org-plus-contrib-20121224 error

[Alan L Tyree]

Using the above package in emacs 24.2.1 on Debian Wheezy/Sid, I get an 
error when trying to call up the agenda with C-C a. The error is

Invalid function: org-no-popups.

Regards,
Alan

Did you restart Emacs?

Can you send a backtrace?

Yes. And it is on two separate machines with slightly different configuations.

I can if you give me a pointer as to how to do it.

See section 1.4, "Feedback", in the org manual.

I deleted and then reinstalled the package and everything is OK. But I
have no idea what went wrong since agenda was working and then stopped
with the installation of the new package.

Sorry for the noise.

Well, I might have an idea what went wrong... the first install you did 
after you've already worked with orgmode in your Emacs or do you already 
load (some) orgmode stuff in your init file?

> Sorry for the noise.

Not noise.  It may have to be fixed in Emacs (resp. package manager) to 
properly work, though.

Both. I had been working with orgmode, then made the install. I also 
load a small amount of orgmode in the init file.

When the agenda didn't work, I quit emacs and then restarted, but the 
problem persisted. As I indicated, this happened on both my main machine 
and a laptop. I'm not sure what the sequence was on the laptop.

Both machines made a miraculous recovery when I deleted the package and 
then installed it.

Hope this helps.

Then you already had org-compat loaded before package manager started to 
compile the new Org.

This may cause org-compat to be loaded as well.

Yes, that is expected when org-copmpat is already loaded: org-no-popups 
is a macro and macro definitions must be known at compile time.  Since 
the old org-compat without that definition was already loaded, the 
corresponding require did nothing, so the definition was missing and the 
byte-compiler was assuming a function that would need to be defined at 
runtime.

As I said, that is something that should really be fixed in package manager.
